poweraid & fipk ?
I am thinking of purchasing a fipk. Also noticed that they have a POWERAID throttle
body spacer. Has anyone setup both together,
can it be done, and is it worth it? This is
probaly an old topic, but help would be
appriciated. I have 3500 miles on my S/CREW
and want to start preformance mods.

I don't have a throttle body spacer, but I was kicking myself for not getting one and installing it with my AirForce One.
When you install an Airforce One, or FIPK, you are going to be about 4 bolts away from installing the spacer. I would recommend doing them both at the same time. Spend the extra $90 bucks for the spacer and an extra 15 mins of install time and do it all at once.
Anybody else have an opinion?

Don't waste your money on the Poweraid. I does not have any performance gains at all. Go to the "engines" forum and do a search. 90% of all users dislike them. I had one in my truck and noticed NO gains, but did get a loud whistle noise at WOT. Definitely look into a new exhaust and Superchip.
